i am now a box lady

This is now my life. If you had told me a year ago that I would have happily had a box of dirt in a place of honor in my house, I would have laughed in your face.

These are my fancy Italian pepper and San Marzano tomatoes seedlings to start. Seed starting kits are expensive and plastic filled – not really something I wanted to buy, use for my food and then store (because I’m not tossing more plastic than I have to). I rigged up some peat containers, potting soil and a big box from Costco to make my own little hothouse and put it by the only south facing window we’ve got.
